I would hope you're not wasting your time installing monitor drivers. They're about on par with blinker fluid.

Wait until reddit realizes some OEMs still ship monitors with driver CDs. Talk about worthless extra materials.

Dafuq you talking about? I've prepped hundreds of HP G6/G8 (this laptop, or similar). Every single one of them has this CD in the box, and I usually don't bother removing it before repacking and giving it to a new employee. HR has nothing to do with it, so you're on some weird tangential crusade.
If OP got the whole laptop box, that makes sense. If someone handed him the laptop, it was probably a new guy who didn't know to just throw the CD away.
Can't say for sure why HP does it, but there's probably a requirement for them to ship a manual with each product, and a CD is probably a cheaper way to fulfill that requirement.

HP put the CD in the box, not someone at OP's company. IT probably prepped the machine and put it back in the retail box for shipping without touching any of the other contents.

Reply to comment by Able_Example_160 in There are two types of air-fryer owners. Those who have one and never use it, and those who use it too often. There is no middle ground by PM_ME_UR_HIP_DIMPLES
Oil fryers (deep fryers) get food way crispier because it transfers heat better than air. Essentially, you want to cook the food before it dries out. Air fryers work by convection, which is just blowing hot air over the food, which works better than just sitting in a hot oven.

Reply to comment by left-of-the-jokers in There are, at the very least, twice as many nipples on Earth as humans by LordOfSlimes666
You'd think that were the case, but apparently the rate of third nipple occurance is in the range of 1/20-1/40, which probably outnumbers occasional nipple losses (boy, that's a phrase, isn't it?).
